Songs from “The Princess.” V. Thy Voice Is Heard

Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron (1809–92)


THY voice is heard thro’ rolling drums
That beat to battle where he stands;
Thy face across his fancy comes,
And gives the battle to his hands:
A moment, while the trumpets blow,	5
He sees his brood about thy knee;
The next, like fire he meets the foe,
And strikes him dead for thine and thee.
